Looking to see if anyone has a good mapped out route from St.Charle to
the Kirkwood Amtrack station. We did this a few years ago and the GPS took us on adventure to say the least! looking for something direct but with the least amount of traffic. Any advice would be helpful.

Howdy! Flooding at Creve Coeur Lake will put a few more turns in a route from St. Charles to Kirkwood, but it can still be done. And, once you get south of Ladue Rd, the route is much more straightforward and follows streets that are heavily traveled by local cyclists. It's just that north of Ladue Rd, you're zigzagging through residential areas that I find easiest to navigate via Google Maps. (I let the GPS talk me through on my cell phone, volume turned all the way up in my jersey pocket or in a bar bag.) Take a look at this and let me know what you think: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/St+Charles,+MO/Kirkwood+Amtrak,+West+Argonne+Drive,+Kirkwood,+MO/@38.6779093,-90.4637559,11.17z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x87df2f0888cc24e3:0xc437f0ab118cf5aa!2m2!1d-90.4974359!2d38.7881062!1m5!1m1!1s0x87d8cc318686831b:0xdc3a34bccbc5cfbd!2m2!1d-90.4067815!2d38.5809602!3e1!5m1!1e3
